  • CULTS: The End of the Summer of Love: The Manson Family

    CULTS: The End of the Summer of Love: The Manson Family
    May 5 2026
    In the summer of 1969, Los Angeles was living in the long glow of the counterculture — until two nights of murders shattered it beyond repair. Charles Manson never held the knife himself, but he held something more powerful: the total psychological devotion of young men and women who would kill on his word. We examine how Manson built his family, what he promised them, the ideology of race war he called Helter Skelter, and the murders of Sharon Tate, Abigail Folger, and five others that made the whole country lock its doors. Fifty years on, we ask what made Manson possible — and what made his followers willing.

  • CULTS: The Last Transmission: Heaven's Gate

    CULTS: The Last Transmission: Heaven's Gate
    Apr 28 2026
    Marshall Applewhite believed — and made others believe — that Earth was about to be wiped clean, and that the only escape was to shed the human body and board a spacecraft trailing the Hale-Bopp comet. In March 1997, 39 members of Heaven's Gate were found dead in a mansion in Rancho Santa Fe, California, dressed in matching black and wearing new Nike sneakers. They had packed bags for the journey. Applewhite had been refining this theology for decades, and the people who followed him were not fringe figures — they were educated, thoughtful, and completely certain. We look at the belief system, the man who built it, and the community that died by it.

  • DECEPTION: The Worst Race Ever Run: The Olympic Marathon of 1904

    DECEPTION: The Worst Race Ever Run: The Olympic Marathon of 1904
    Apr 21 2026
    The Olympic Marathon at the 1904 St. Louis Games was supposed to be a showcase of human endurance. Instead, it became one of the strangest, most chaotic sporting events in recorded history. Competitors ran in ninety-degree heat through clouds of dust kicked up by the officials' cars. One runner was chased off course by a dog. Another was unknowingly given strychnine by his coach. The first man to cross the finish line was disqualified. A man who had stopped to eat apples in an orchard nearly won. We unpack the glorious disaster of a race that tells you everything about the early Olympics — and almost nothing about athletic achievement.
